Leghorn
Reviewed by Chicken Goddess

Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

My chickens were hatched March 16th 2012, I've had them since March 17th. I have 12 cochins of mixed heritage.

Today I went to feed/water them and I found a tiny little brown egg right next to the food bowl!!

I had things to do today, but when I got home my grandpa had found 2 more little eggs! They are SOOOO cute!

Below are some pictures! I used a grocery store "large" egg for comparison.

I wish I knew who laid them.

My chicken coop is now inhabited by chickens!
